The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.
This is an introvert, rather than extrovert trait (though Extroverts can be outgoing, even while showing excellent listening skills). In the Michael teachings, it is a Scholar (Role in Essence) trait, though any of the seven Roles can absorb.
To do this the best, think like a sponge.

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.
Review is scalable. For example, take Dream review. If done right away, it is relatively easy: Just write the narrative in your Journal. Or sit at a desk and dictate into a microphone (as seen on the movie, Avatar). But it can also be a huge task, as in Life Review after death.

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.
Remember those Science classes in school? Weren't the lab experiments fun? Well, this question is likely to have more than one answer! (I liked Science classes, but not everybody else agreed).
I consider life itself to be an experiment, which adds a level of fun, even to the less than pleasant experiences.

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.
Recognition can actually be embarassing at times, when you think you've recognized somebody else, yet they don't know you, and deny the connection. (And, at times, what a person is recognizing is an inner connection from an earlier reality, rather than a physical connection).

The Word for Today is Resolve.
Obviously, it's not New Year's right now, but that's no reason to shirk doing Resolutions. They work well, when followed up on.

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.
Is it courage, or is it foolhardiness? This is often a question, based on an incident. Which of those actually felt fear? My take is Courage, who tends to act constructively, based on the wisdom that comes with encountering the situation before. (And the term, foolhardiness, is typically applied, when the outcome was not good).

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.
Remember the Peter Principle? "Companies have incompetent people, because they only stop promoting after you've passed your level of Competence".
Well, due to our economy, we should have highly competent people in our companies, since companies cut way back on promoting from within. (So why do we still have incompetent people in companies?)

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.
This is an important trait, easily developed via Hatha Yoga. It also goes well with this Thursday's words, Endurance and Strength, both helping develop those traits, and developed by those traits.

The Word for Today is Fertility.
This word also works well with our weekly theme, as it takes two to be fertile with child. But creativity can be fertile, too. And people can cooperate there, also.

The Word for Today is Stability.
One thing interesting to me is how much this goes with our Theme as, for example, friendships based on Cooperation tend to be more Stable than ones based on Competition (which can be short-lived).

Weekly Theme: Week of March 21 to 27, 2010
The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.
If we were to have more Cooperation in this world, I believe we would not need wars, as they come across as the end result of competition, with each side trying to destroy the other side.

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.
It is hard to grow up on Planet Earth without getting stuck in some way or another. Whether it is family issues, money issues, or, for some, legal issues that might include bars in front of the room you are in, people get stuck. So, finding that "release lever" is important. Good luck on that!

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.
There is cooperation and there is competition. People usually consider competition to be between two people or organizations. But it is possible for one person to compete to be the best he/she can be. Replace Compete with Aspire.

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.
Life is an exercise in contrasts, both pleasant and not so much. Look for the beauty, and remember that, when stuck in the less pleasant experiences.
Also, search for your own, personal contrast knob, allowing, at least a limited control over how intense these contrasts are. (I found my own knob, suggesting others can, also).

Smooth, unhurried and with no sudden moves. It was through learning to walk slowly that I learned to be graceful in my movements. And through gracefulness, comes agility.

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.
Certainly, acceleration is often a good thing (except when already above the speed limit on an Interstate highway). But, even spiritually, it's wise to not accelerate too fast, such as to avoid visits to your local mental institution.
Accelerate safely, please!

The Two Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.
First off, Patience is great, as it is the opposite of a popular Michael Teachings Chief Feature.
As well, Tolerance is wonderful, because it is a pre-curser to a popular Michael Goal.
Try practicing them both.

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.
An example word of a part of it: "It would have been thoughtful of me to have put this up earlier in the day".
Also, it is good to be "full of thought", but brains are not meant to be "over-filled". ;-)

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 6, 2010
The Word for Today is Prosperity.
Who is prosperous these days? Really? There's "paper prosperity", where it "seems" that a stock or home will "go way up". But does that sort of prosperity pay the bills?
The Earth itself is generous. Trees often have fruit, some of which can even fall on you [ouch? Yes, at times]. That fruit can be tasty and nutritious, or bitter and dangerous.
Once again, the question, What does prosperity really mean? If you thought you were prosperous, because of some stock options or some such, but then, the company itself folded, where are you now? If somebody told you, "pssst... if you vote NO on that healthcare bill, I can make you prosperous", would you vote your consciounce? Or your pocket book? I think the Republicans have pretty much made it rather clear where they stand on that issue.
So where do we get prosperity? Money doesn't grow on trees, but fruit does.
Take Iceland, for example. I guess that the People of Iceland don't feel so prosperous, when they can't get any money out of their ATM machines.
So what?

The Word for Today is Liberation.
Boy, have I had self-made Prisons to "liberate myself from", these days. Get out of one, and another one's there, like peeling an onion.
Please tell me I'm not the ONLY one who has had this problem! Comments, anyone?

Catch-up number 2, 2/28 - 3/4/2010
Final catch-up from the DSL outage:
Sunday (2/28) was Self-Reliance (Ouch! We need each other!) Monday (3/1) was Elimination (as long as it wasn't IMPORTANT to you). Tuesday (3/2) was Consequence (as opposed to Truth?) Wednesday (3/3) was Impartiality (easiest for Scholars, I think...) Finally, Thursday (3/4) was Wisdom (which comes from Life Experience, not generally Book Reading).
Good luck with all that!

Wednesday, 2/24 was Equality. Thursday the 25th was Gratitude, something to keep in mind, even when NOT the word. Friday, the 26th was two words, Trust and Faith. Finally, Saturday, the 27th was Expansion (which shouldn't be via getting fat).
A little more and I'll be caught up.
